In this brief letter from Topeka, Kansas Territory, signed by Cyrus K. Holiday, M. C. Dickey, F. L. Crane, Loring Farnsworth, and F. W. Giles, "Governor" Robinson is "respecfully and cordially" invited to participate in a "mass convention" on December 28, 1857, in Topeka. It is being convened "to deliberate upon the political questions of the day; and more especially upon the action of the late 'Lawrence Convention.'"
